Hopefully not “Dead or Alive,” but apparently there’s been a warrant issued for my arrest back Stateside!
Back in April while I was driving from Phoenix to Ohio (to ultimate drop the truck off for shipping to Italy), I was stopped at a random checkpoint in Nowhere, New Mexico… and I mean nowhere. It was high-noon; [...]Read Full Article →

You guys get another Pams-titute for the next few months. Trav’s officially back in theater. Shoddy military transport extended his departure an entire day. It was an unexpected blessing (and much needed one too). Since all the necessities had already been completed prior to his original goodbye, Trav and I were able to just [...]Read Full Article →

For those that know me, perhaps this was bound to happen to me sooner or later.
So we were cooking shish-kabobs on the grill for dinner tonight…
I exchanged the propane cylinder a few days ago. Since I exchanged it, the flame on the grill sucks. If I turn on all four burners, they almost all but [...]Read Full Article →

Trav gave me the go ahead to do a catch-up post since he just left for a 2½ week TDY ala army style and has been short on time recently. He’s been crazy busy with grad school the past couple of days. He was able to pull off about one months worth of [...]Read Full Article →

It’s been two weeks since the surgery. I finally got the cast replaced with a walking boot on my ankle (I guess “finally” is tempered with relativity – I know people typically have casts on for 6+ weeks). I’ve re-learned that I hate crutches… if I’m just around the house or in a confined space, [...]Read Full Article →

Luckily, I have very little experience in the surgery room of hospitals… and after yesterday I hope to keep it that way. I honestly don’t remember too much after getting the IV put into my arm… I remember rolling over so they could give me a shot in my ass, and vaguely remember the ether [...]Read Full Article →

Well, it appears I did a little more damage to my ankle in last post’s antics than meets the eye.
I went in to the doc’s office today to get the damn thing casted up. They re-X-Rayed everything and also had some machine that can do pseudo X-Rays in full motion video so they can move [...]Read Full Article →

The thought’s occurred to me lately that maybe I’m going through a midlife crisis. Of course, that’s arguable. I think 31 is a little young to be claiming a midlife crisis, but then again if I live to be 62 then I’m spot on. Regardless…
While I was in Iraq this last time, I had [...]Read Full Article →

I think everyone can remember a time when they were a kid and questioned their parents on why they did things a certain way. Some questions were easy, and you’d receive a direct response. Others were more philosophical in nature, and you’d receive an almost-cryptic answer followed by “you’ll see someday when you have kids…”
Those [...]Read Full Article →
